 NBA free agency starts on the 1st of July kinda and the on the 5th July properly. In the interim let's all play a game where we guess where some players will sign because that will be fun. ENTRIES CLOSED SPREADSHEET OF RESPONSES HERE: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yvFPO96F7FEmp9tTT9l5fHa503SoYI3SrowAYedRwFw/edit?usp=sharing 1 point for correctly guessing a player resigns with their current team 2 points for correctly guessing a player signing for a new team 5 points for a correct wildcard pick - a player not listed who signs for a new team  SPECIAL DERRICK ROSE TRIPLE POINTS BONUSYou get 3 points if you correctly predict former MVP Derrick Rose resigning with the Knicks (lol) or 6 points if you correctly guess the new team he signs with. Last year's winner was xbilkis with 17. None of us were very good. No-one out of 42 entries predicted Durant signing with the Warriors. Entries will close on Friday 30th June. Last year the people who waited latest mostly did better because of leaks and Wojbombs, but it's more fun to make your guesses early and laugh at them more in retrospect. Good luck and Godspeed. tanglewood1420 fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Jul 1, 2017 |

so does this mean I get nine points total for correctly picking a non-knicks team for him to sign with

I'd cash my MITB case on Danny Ainge and take all his picks. Sorry, I mean, thanks for making this. Gallinari to Houston

Nine responses so far, keep 'em coming. Some people seem to be misunderstanding the wild card category (probably wasn't very clear on the form). You need to pick a player who isn't listed, and then predict which new team (not the team they are currently on) they will sign for. Some people have just named a player without listing a team, others have picked a player to resign with their current team. Also someone chose a player who isn't even a free agent, but hey they may get cut so I'll let that one go I guess. aBagorn, Lockback, BWV and Quizzlefisg - you can either PM me your new wildcard guess according the above clearer guidelines, or just post it here in the thread if you want.

I'll switch my bonus then to Patrick Paterson signing with the Mavs I haven't looked at their cap space but I just assume their due to give too much money to a stretch four who lost his shot.

I'll say Brandon Rush signing with, let's say, Houston.

Rick posted:This is a rough year. These, aside from the clippers who I can't see blowing up their team and submitting to the lakers, are impossible. I think Hayward will go to the celtics because in 2017, everything happens, stuff t hat wouldn't happen in the past just happens, but everything else, who loving knows

The draft is over, so now everyone can come in here and take part. Bonus being anyone now will probably do much better than all us chumps who submitted entries pre-draft.

Everyone using up their cap space on dumb contracts has really squashed the market. We're going to be back on trades being an important vector of player movement because stars will want ridiculous supermaxes

I voted D'Angelo Russell for both the last two questions, seems pretty obvious. Also writing this out made me realize Nick Young isn't on this list!

I randomly chose at least half those, so I'll probably be embarrassingly wrong, but I filled it out.

Haven't posted about hoops for a while, but I did this thing. Went with my gut reaction for like 3/4 of them, so I'll probably be spectacularly wrong. I'm most interested in seeing how the wild card choices turn out.

I'm a little disappointed in myself for how many of these players I had to look up what team they're actually on.

In it... to win it. Basically picked most guys to re-sign with their current team. Man, San Antonio has a ton of middling dudes to decide on.

24 entries so far, will close this friday evening before all the leaks start coming though, probably around 9 or 10 EST. One person correctly picked Chris Paul to the Rockets before the trade news broke, so congrats to them.

I just submitted my entry. To not take advantage of my unfair putting-it-in-late I gave myself a handicap and put down my original prediction that Paul would stay on the Clippers. e: I just saw Rubio to the Jazz so that probably ruins my George Hill prediction too.

Just slightly over half of our players have confirmed signed, current leaderboard: Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yvFPO96F7FEmp9tTT9l5fHa503SoYI3SrowAYedRwFw/edit#gid=2013023998 Halfling Wizard Bear leads having been one of two to guess Gallinari to the Clippers and the only player to correctly guess George Hill to the Kings. No-one picked Rudy Gay to the Spurs.

Rick and I both picked Kris Dunn for most likely to date a Kardashian Middling, handsome in a pretty boy sort of way, I think it was the right pick Holy poo poo how did halfling wizard b ear know every single big move, Chris Paul, Gallo, and Millsap. That's freaky

Yeah it is on there, just a hidden column. I've voided all Chris Paul guesses that were made after the trade was already announced. Halfling Wizard Bear actually did predict CP3 to the Rockets before the trade broke though. Maybe he is Woj?

All three were in Nuggets rumors a lot and I'm a big ol' homer. CP was supposed to meet with Denver as well as Houston. Clippers have wanted Gallo for ages, Millsap was wishful thinking. Halfling Wizard Bear fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Jul 8, 2017 |
